The
recent bathroom sex scandal involving Republican Idaho Senator Larry Craig
has become a political hornet's nest. However, to those who are privy
to the real-life goings-on among the political elite in Washington, D.C.,
this comes as no surprise.

Extracurricular
sexual activity in Washington, D.C., is about as uncommon as thunderstorms
in the summertime. The element igniting the fires of the media and the
public in general, however, is that the Craig scandal involves another
Republican legislator and homosexuality.

You
see, Karl Rove and Company (along with their willingly gullible Christian
pastor accomplices) have convinced rank-and-file conservatives, many of
whom are Christians, that the GOP is the "family values" party. Some even
go so far as to call it "God's Party." Obviously, Larry Craig, Mark Foley,
David Vitter, et. al have done much to tarnish this image.

As a
pastor for more than three decades, I have witnessed a plethora of sexual
failures. Men and women, even Christian men and women, are all weakened
with a sinful nature. Some are more vulnerable to certain sins than others,
and with a current culture that is awash in sexual promiscuity, temptations
of the flesh have never been greater.

The
pastor side of me understands the need for redemption and forgiveness.
If I was personally acquainted with Senator Craig, I would be more than
willing to minister healing to him and his family. Of course, in Senator
Craig's case, he has admitted no wrongdoing and asked for no help. Even
God does not help a person who will not ask for it.

That
being said, it behooves me to address the underlying problem behind the
Larry Craig scandal. The real problem that this scandal unearths is the
widespread influence that homosexuality has within the GOP. Ladies and
Gentlemen, the GOP elephant is not red; it is pink. That is a fact that
rank and file conservatives within the GOP either don't know or don't
want to know. But it is getting harder and harder to keep that fact a
secret.

If anyone
really wants to learn the facts about how homosexualists have taken over
the Republican Party, I encourage them to read Alan Stang's blockbuster
new book entitled "Not Holier Than Thou," which is published by Patton
House. Here is Alan's web site.

Alan
was one of Mike Wallace's original writers. He was a business editor at
Prentice-Hall. He is a radio talk show host, and has done stints on the
American Freedom Network and the Republic Broadcasting Network. He is
the author of several books, as well as hundreds of feature articles in
national magazines. His book, "Not Holier Than Thou," is an in-depth look
at how homosexualists have taken over the Republican Party in Washington,
D.C. It is an eye-opener, to say the least.

Stang
notes that as far back as 1989 the Washington Times published a monumental
front-page story that began, "A homosexual prostitution ring is under
investigation by federal and District authorities and includes among its
clients key officials of the Reagan and Bush administrations, military
officers, congressional aides and US and foreign businessmen with close
social ties to Washington's political elite, documents obtained by The
Washington Times reveal."

Remember,
that was just the first paragraph, and it appeared not in a liberal newspaper,
but in the conservative Washington Times.

Stang
also points out numerous homosexual prostitutes that have had free access
to the White House under Republican administrations, including the current
one. Stang also notes that Karl Rove's father was a homosexual, a fact
that may have contributed to his mother's suicide.

Obviously,
everyone on the planet knows that Vice President Dick Cheney's daughter,
Mary Cheney, is a lesbian. Is it a coincidence that Mrs. Dick Cheney,
Lynne, wrote a lesbian novel entitled "Sisters"?

Stang
also reminds readers that President G.W. Bush was "a member of Skull &
Bones at Yale, which apparently involves bizarre, secret sex rituals including
coffins. He has visited the Bohemian Grove in northern California, the
site of other secret sex rituals."

Should
we be surprised, therefore, that despite campaigning as a born again Christian,
President Bush has not repealed a single pro-homosexual Executive Order
given by President Bill Clinton or that he has appointed as many (if not
more) openly gay men to high government positions as did Bill Clinton?
The list includes high profile homosexuals such as Paul Cellucci, Michael
Guest, Stephen Herbits, Scott Evertz, Mark Dybul, Israel Hernandez, Joseph
O'Neill, Arthur James Collingsworth, and on and on. According to Stang,
"He [Bush] has given organized sodomy considerable control over the federal
government."

Obviously,
homosexuals have not been limited to the Republican White House. As the
Times stated, the GOP congressional caucus is also shaded in pink. Remember
David Dreier and Mark Foley? And please don't forget the cross-dressing
Republican presidential frontrunner Rudy Giuliani.

Remember,
too, that it was the Republican Newt Gingrich who came to the defense
of homosexual Democratic Congressman Barney Frank when he was discovered
running a homosexual prostitution ring out of his apartment. Of course,
Newt has a lesbian sister and has often publicly praised homosexuals in
Congress for the "courage" they show by running for office.

The
list of this kind of nonsense never seems to end. Get Alan Stang's book,
and read it for yourself. You'll see how Mitt
Romney routinely facilitated the homosexual agenda while he was Governor
of Massachusetts and how California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger currently
does the same thing.

It is
no hyperbole to say that the Larry Craig affair is merely the tip of the
iceberg--and it is a very big iceberg.

All
of this is not to say that homosexualists do not hold sway over the Democrat
Party also. They do. The difference is, conservative Christian voters
have been thoroughly duped into believing that the Republican Party in
general, and President G.W. Bush in particular, are above it all. They
are not. They are in it up to their eyeballs.

Sooner
or later, conservatives, Christians, constitutionalists, and other traditionalists
must wake up to the reality that both major parties in Washington, D.C.,
are immersed in all kinds of corruption. We must clean house! And I mean
the House of Representatives, the U.S. Senate and the White House. We
cannot depend on the two major parties to police themselves or to be faithful
to their duties to the American people. We must begin electing independent
men and women to public office. Men and women who have not been bought
by big money interests. Men and women who truly understand their constitutional
obligations. Men and women who adhere to basic honesty and integrity.

Obviously,
we have good men and women running in almost every race. The problem is
the media (which has its own problems with integrity) will not give such
people a fair hearing. Furthermore, most people (conservative Christians
included) have bought into the antiquated "they can't win" mantra, which
precludes them from supporting the really good people who accept the challenge
to enter a political race. Accordingly, people victimize themselves through
self-fulfilling prophecy.

In the
meantime, homosexualists will continue to dominate both major parties
and we will continue to be subjected to Larry Craig-type scandals. One
would think that, sooner or later, the American people would have enough.
